Eastern city of Shuzhou Region, Baqiu City, located 320 kilometers from Celestial City.
The temporary base of the Mysterious Creature Disaster Response Committee's frontline command is set here.
This was originally the Baqiu City Stadium, but now all the sports facilities have been cleared out and replaced with communication equipment with dark green military coating, thick cables are everywhere, and staff wearing various departmental uniforms are busily moving through the gaps between equipment and tables, phone rings going off incessantly.
A large countdown number is constantly shrinking on the big screen hanging at the center of the basketball court—
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
Meanwhile, three hundred kilometers away, the countdown is also proceeding in Sun Hang and Ye Jiu's headphones.
"3, 2, 1..."
"Light array, activate!"
Dazzling white light instantly enveloped the sky above Jinjiang CBD, making the night sky look like broad daylight.
